He also ranks One-Eyed Jacks as a top five western, which is crazy, but it's still really good and interesting.

As Hannah and Her Sisters proves, Marx Brothers movies are timeless no matter how many times you see them, especially Duck Soup because there's no bullshit musical numbers wo/the bros.

Wait. just what in the hell is wrong with "The Hitcher?"

I see the AV Club is now a member of the Academy as it retroactively strips Sammy L of his nomination. Who deservedly lost to Landau in maybe my favorite 90s supporting performance.

I think the main drawback from Match Point is that it was made by the same director of Crimes & Misdemeanors; otherwise, a really good film. Maybe the backlash because it announced he was back, when he was still in his 90s mode of good movie, mediocre movie, mediocre, mediocre, really good, which continued with…

I know we're not sentimental, but no Aki Kaurismäki?

Great callback, "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean," one of the funniest movies of the 80s and apex Altman commercial-filmmaking titling.

Midnight in Paris?

It's definitely funnier than 30 of the movies on this list, but in no way is it funnier than "Plague Dogs" and The Tod.

Well, I don't want to be accused of micro-managing, but I cannot understand why "I Heart Huckabees" is on a list of best comedies. That self-indulgent crap is not suitable for combat troops or AVers. - Wait, no it's great.

My father laughed harder at Bad Santa than at any other movie we've ever seen (1000s?) and he's an ex-alcoholic, hard-assed ex-cop: ringing endorsement if ever. Agree on B.D. and W.H. too. Where's Bad Lt: Non-nude Kietel/nun-gangrape movie, the one I laughed hardest at?

this is the strangest most off-key list i've ever seen on AV. especially after they declare criteria, as best, not funniest. weird selections and rankings. baffled. no mistress america?

I'd say he retroactively read parts/synopsis/cliff notes and cherry picked what made sense for his arguments (to him). That's one of the least convincing interpretations I've seen in awhile.

Not much into Springsteen, but goddamn, Patti Smith's "Because the Night" is screamable.

It was either this, or Benny wearing sunglasses at night, in bed.

why does one have to choose between seeing it at the imax and hearing it from cate blanchett's voice? stupid universe…

why does anyone think brienne would die? hound wouldn't kill her out of spite. brotherhood would recognize her. they could be the 2nd best pairing ever in a series that loves pairings besides jon snow and "ride or die" tormund giantsbane!

anybody know where to find any footage of his on-stage gross out contests?

rickon mustve graduated from prometheus school of running away from things.

Gotta say, I love her as a foil to Selina. She's smarter, better informed, tactful, and a totally naive to political maneuvering. Also, she's a fan of Aki Kaurismaki! What's not to love?
